Jacksonville, FL (SportsNetwork.com) - The Jacksonville Jaguars snapped a
franchise-worst seven-game home losing streak with a 27-20 victory over the
penalty-prone Houston Texans on Thursday.

Chad Henne completed 12-of-27 passes for 117 yards and two touchdowns for the
Jaguars (4-9), who won in Jacksonville for the first time since Nov. 25, 2012.

Maurice Jones-Drew carried the ball 14 times for 103 yards before leaving with
a hamstring injury. Marcedes Lewis, Cecil Shorts and Jordan Todman each caught
touchdown passes for Jacksonville, which has won three in a row for the first
time since Oct. 31-Nov. 21, 2010.

"Our team continues to show that they're sticking to it, believing and making
plays at critical times," Jaguars coach Gus Bradley said.

The quarterback carousel continued for the Texans (2-11), who have dropped a
franchise-worst 11 consecutive contests after a promising 2-0 start. Case
Keenum connected on 16-of-29 passes for 159 yards, one touchdown and an
interception before being replaced late in the third quarter. Matt Schaub
completed 17-of-29 passes for 198 yards, one touchdown and an interception.

"We had 14 penalties or something and it's just ridiculous," Texans coach Gary
Kubiak said. "(The penalties) didn't give us a chance to win. There were huge
penalties; down the field, pass interference penalties and those types of
things. It's on me. I am the coach. It's discipline and it's just ridiculous.
There is no way you should make that many penalties in a football game."

Randy Bullock's 31-yard field goal with 11:31 to play got Houston within
24-20.

The Texans started their next drive from their own 20-yard line. DeAndre
Hopkins and Johnson caught passes of 14 and 11 yards, respectively, to move
the ball into Jacksonville territory. Johnson converted a pair of third downs,
including a 22-yard catch on 3rd-and-20. The march stalled, though, and
Schaub's fourth-down pass fell incomplete.

After forcing another Jacksonville punt, Schaub was picked off by Geno Hayes
with over two minutes left on the clock.

Josh Scobee made a 39-yard field goal with 25 seconds remaining to give the
Jaguars a seven-point lead.

Schaub was sacked on the final play of the game.

The Jaguars converted a trio of third downs on the opening possession of the
game. Lewis capped the 13-play, 80-yard drive with a 1-yard TD catch. Henne
hooked up with the veteran tight end on a fade route.

Lewis' second catch of the contest came on the final play of the first
quarter. He made a nice grab between two defenders for a 41-yard gain. A 33-
yard defensive pass interference penalty on Shiloh Keo moved the ball to the
Houston 12-yard line. Shorts capped the quick drive with a 6-yard touchdown
catch to give the Jaguars their largest lead of the season.

Following a punt from each team, the Texans put together a 12-play, 91-yard
drive. Graham caught passes of 22 and 15 yards to help move the ball into
Jacksonville territory. Keshawn Martin capped the march with an 8-yard TD
catch.

Alan Ball picked off Keenum on Houston's next possession. The Jaguars ended up
getting three points thanks to consecutive penalties on Texans safety D.J.
Swearinger. Henne's pass on third down fell incomplete, but Swearinger was
called for taunting after the play. With a fresh set of downs, Henne was
intercepted by Eddie Pleasant. This time around, Swearinger was whistled for
holding. Jones-Drew's 15-yard run led to a 40-yard Scobee field goal with
three seconds to go.

Bullock's 34-yard field goal with 8:29 left in the third quarter cut the gap
to 17-10.

Penalties continued to hurt the Texans on the ensuing Jacksonville possession.
A defensive pass interference call on Johnathan Joseph was followed up a few
plays later by Swearinger's face mask penalty. The Jaguars then used a trick
play from the Houston 21-yard line, as wide receiver Ace Sanders threw a
touchdown pass to Todman.

Schaub took over under center for Houston late in the third stanza. Hopkins
caught a 46-yard pass from Schaub to move the ball to the Jacksonville 22.
Graham's 5-yard TD grab on the seventh play of the drive got the Texans within
24-17.
